donkeyteaarrrraugh drank Taiwanese Wild Mountain Black by Butiki Teas

184 tasting notes

I haven’t had this tea in awhile because I am always struggling to measure it…the leaves are so dang big! I hate to break them to get an accurate teaspoon, but gave in to the “NEED” today. :) The lightness of the liquid in the cup always surprises me with this tea, as I always think of it’s big flavor palate and think I’ve surely steeped it wrong….shouldn’t it be darker? Nope. Just like Goldilocks says, “It’s juuuuuuuust right.” I always get the raisin note first, then the yam note, then the baked note. The rest come in together and make me happy. Enough said.

Spot or pot, I love a cup!

I learned to drink tea while living in Dublin in the early 80’s, so as you can imagine, I am a hearty brew lover, and take tea with milk and honey. I am trying to expand my horizons with tea….that is why I’m now on Steepster! Joined in January 2014.

Currently loving strong black teas that hold up to milk and honey well. I have a curiosity about keemuns and yunnans, but smoky ones are out. Green and white teas are off my radar, but making little forays into oolong and darjeeling tea. Herbal? So far only cacao tea has gone into regular rotation in my tea routine.

I do like some naturally flavoured teas…almond, vanilla, cardamom, ginger. This seems to be mostly in the cooler months…but mostly I’m an unflavoured tea drinker.

Life is too short for bad tea and bad bread.
